ARCHIBUS Smart Client

Setting Sign-In Preferences

Sign-in preferences are per-user preferences that apply only to the current user. Some user preferences are set by running the Set Up/Preferences command from the Ribbon toolbar. Others are set from the Sign In dialog. The following table describes the user sign-in preferences and indicates how the preference is set.

Preference	Description	Notes
Locale	Select the language and locale that you are working in. This selection is independent of the per-user locale setting in Web Central. Select a different locale when you want the Smart Client locale to be different from the locale of the Process Navigator and the applications. For example, if you are working in one language, but need to produce management reports in a different language, to prepare the report, you would switch the locale to the reporting language. If you change this value, after saving the Preferences form, you must restart the Smart Client for the change to take effect.	Defaults to the current locale for your workstation operating system. Set this preference by running the Set Up/Preferences command and making the change on the Edit Preferences dialog. The locale setting is stored in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\ARCHIBUS\SmartClient\21.2\user.config file, which is known only to Smart Client and not Web Central.
User Name	Default user name for the Sign In dialog.	The User name and Password are shown only on the Sign In dialog accessed by running the Sign In command from the Ribbon Toolbar. They are not shown on the Edit Preferences dialog, To set these preferences, run the Sign In command from the Ribbon Toolbar, enter your User Name in the Sign In dialog, and select Remember my credentials on this computer.
Password	The Web Central password for the above User Name. If the default project, the user name, and the password are present, the Smart Client uses them to automatically log into the project.
Local File Server Location	The"ARCHIBUS" folder location on this workstation server. This value enables the Smart Client to find drawing files and publish enterprise graphics files to the file server. This value is overridden by the per-site Remote File Server Location, if that value is present (as it represents the correct settings of the server that you have logged in to). This values is used by only full Smart Client installations. Client-only installs (remote Smart Client installations) use only the Remote File Server Location. See Remote Smart Client Preferences.	Typical value: C:\Users\Public\ARCHIBUS
Server Location History	List of URLs that the user has successfully used in the Server list on the Sign In dialog. This history enables users who switch between local, prototype, remote site, and enterprise servers from having to continually re-type the addresses.	Shown only in the drop-down list on the Sign In dialog (not shown in the Edit Preferences dialog).
Default Project	The entry in the Projects list to show as the default on the Sign In dialog.	Example: HQ-Sybase-Runtime Shown only in the drop-down list on the Sign In dialog (not shown in the Edit Preferences dialog).
